Read Write Own: Building the Next Era of the Internet

Chris’s book is a potent exploration of the power of blockchains to reshape the future of the Internet—and how that affects us all. He will walk us through the history of the internet, showing how it has gone through three major design eras: the first focused on democratising information (read), the second on democratising publishing (write), and the third on democratising ownership (own). We are on the cusp of the third era — own — so he explains the key concepts underlying it, including blockchains and digital services built on top of blockchains.

Verity argues that it is critical for society to take the lead in figuring out what, and who, this technology is really for, if we are to guide it away from our worst fears and toward a future that we can trust and believe in.

Can the UK and the world reach net zero on time? 

Is net zero by 2050 possible? What would it take to get there? On the one hand, the stock of renewable power generation and electric vehicles continues to grow rapidly; on the other hand, China continues to build new coal fired generation, citizens appear to be starting to push back against net zero policy, and the reality of reconfiguring our supply chains and the structure of the economy is starting to hit home.
